I eventually stopped being a governor as more and more responsibility was being heaped on the Board of Governors yet we were all volunteers but still expected to take full responsibility for anything that happened.

Re: Wow...

I never knew there were so many ways of saying those words :)

There were some genuine idiots in that but lots of angry drivers who didn't look ahead enough and some who could have avoided issues.

I have a dashcam and use it, too many idiots now. No one seems to care :(

Re: Crash protection

Crash bungs were invented to help protect the engine if the bike goes down on it's side and slides. That was the reason for them coming about. Saving the plastics is secondary, seeing as they cost racers about £200 a set and most ...

Re: Head or Heart?

Monty, let me know what those Rizoma reservoirs and brackets are like. I suspect at those prices they're Chinese copies. The rizoma grips I got (copies) were very well made and in official looking boxes, but they soon lost their colour.

Re: What are you doing today ??

The Peaks is the same mate, this winter of shed loads of rain and freezing nights has ruined them. I hope not Monty. Seriously these roads were undriveable in a car at 10 mph and absolutely shocking condition. I m not taking a little stretch but mile after mile of proper pot holed road. It ...
